You may need to select a different standby range to tune or correct a test condition or result that is
less than optimal. For example, if the test condition always starts the measurement on the 100 µA
range, selecting the 100 µA standby range speeds up the measurement. This may also correct the
occasional data glitch that is seen on the first point of a sweep.
Set standby range by selecting the SMU Standby Range from the list.
Instrument Cards area
The Instrument Cards area shows which internal instrument card is installed in each slot.
Instrument properties and connections
Each instrument in KCon has a Properties screen. Properties may include the vendor name, model
number, slot number, firmware and hardware versions, serial number, and calibration information for
the instrument.
Some instruments include a Run Self Test option. The Self Test button starts the Self Test utility,
which runs several internal performance checks to determine if the instrument is operating correctly.
When the Self Test process finishes, a pass or fail message is displayed.
If you added external instruments, you can also set the GPIB address from this screen.
If your system configuration includes a matrix, the matrix connections to the measurement terminals
are also displayed.
If you added a test fixture, you can select a type of test fixture and define the number of test fixture
pins (2 to 72).
The number of pins defined in the properties for the test fixture or probe station determines the pins
that are available to assign to a switch matrix card column. Make sure the number of pins assigned
is appropriate for your system.
For supported external instruments, the 4200A-SCS provides user libraries that contain
preconfigured data acquisition and control user modules. Refer to Supported external equipment (on
page 3-6) for a list of supported equipment and additional information.
The following topics describe general settings for equipment. Matrices and probers, however, require
additional steps. For detail if you are adding a switch matrix, refer to “Using Switch Matrices” in Model
4200A-SCS Prober and External Instrument Control.
For detail if you are adding a prober, refer to the information for your prober in Model 4200A-SCS
Parameter Analyzer Prober and External Instrument Control.
